In the 1970s, a rock & roll group called themselves the Hollywood Vampires regularly visited Los Angeles bars at night. The group was led by Alice Cooper, joined by Harry Nilsson, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon and Micky Dolenz. Their stories became legendary, even if the details of their nightly debauchery are often forgotten.
Forty years later, Alice Cooper revived the Hollywood Vampires name when he formed a classic rock supergroup with Joe Perry and Johnny Depp. In the spirit of the original Hollywood Vampires, a number of other stars were invited to contribute to the band’s 2015 album; guest appearances included Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Slash, Joe Walsh, Perry Farrell, AC/DC singer Brian Johnson, The Doors guitarist Robby Krieger and Kip Winger of Winger. Hollywood Vampires reached the Billboard 200 Top 50 and was accompanied by a tour.
In 2019, Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, and Joe Perry revived the project for a second album. The resulting Rise featured guest appearances by Jeff Beck and John Waters, who can be heard on the song "Welcome to Bushwackers," and was largely composed of original material.
In 2023, with no new material to release, the band released their first live album, Live in Rio. The recording, produced by Bob Ezrin, was recorded at the massive Rock in Rio festival in 2015, where the band played to an audience of 100,000.
